Using the jump ramp from a carrier must be a trip. Not sure if I want to experience Gs on the runway....

[greenman407]

Yep, the Russians and the British must love it.

Russian carrier pictures give me a very strange sensation. Her deck seems like a few transited street compared with western ones. Do you know what a mean?

Here is the 1/72 scale model of Giuseppe Garibaldi I built a few years back. She is now owned and operated by Dave Pearse in Sydney.

Wow! Thats a museum piece.

Thanks Mark.
In the end even though I built her as two hull section ship - transport still for me was a PITA and launching her was not much fun on my back.
Dave Pearse looks after her extremely well and I sail with him and her from time to time.
